The Goodyear massively parallel processor (MPP) represents a new architecture with the potential for providing improved solutions to applications benefiting from highly parallel operation. In this paper, application of the MPP to database management systems is examined. Specifically, the relational database model is considered. Database management has been selected as a candidate application of the MPP because of the positive results achieved in previous work related to parallel architectures and database systems. The relational model has been selected for its applicability to parallel processing, its mathematical foundation, and its general recognition as a model that is superior in many respects to the hierarchical and network models. The paper concentrates on a comparative evaluation of the MPP and an abstract conventional computer by examining specific database management functions rather than an entire database management system.
